<h1>ConwayGo: Rules</h1>

<p>It's a simple game. There are only two types of pieces:<br>
First, the <b>ball</b>: <img src="images/ball.gif" alt="ball"
	align="middle" hspace="2" vspace="5">; second, the <b>players</b>:
<img src="images/player.gif" alt="player" align="middle" hspace="2"
	vspace="5"><br>
</p>
<p>And two types of moves exist:</p>
<ol>
	<li><b>Put a player on the board.</b><br>
	When the mouse cursor is over an empty place of the board, a blue ring
	is shown: <img src="images/put.gif" alt="Place to add a player"
		align="middle" hspace="2" vspace="5">. Click a mouse key and a
	blue ball is added at this place. (The players are also called
	"philosophers" because they never move. You remember the Monty Python's
	version of "philosophers' football"?) <br>
	<br>
	</li>
	<li><b>Jump with the ball.</b><br>
	Move the mouse cursor over the ball. If there is an adjacent player, a
	red ring is shown around the ball: <img src="images/jump_0.gif"
		alt="Able to enter jump mode" align="middle" hspace="2" vspace="5"><br>
	Click to enter the jump mode; then click on the target field. <br>
	The ball jumps over an adjacent player and lands directly behind him,
	the player is removed: <img src="images/jump_0.gif" alt="before"
		align="middle" hspace="2" vspace="5">&nbsp;<img
		src="images/jump_1.gif" alt="during" align="middle" hspace="2"
		vspace="5">&nbsp;<img src="images/jump_2.gif" alt="after"
		align="middle" hspace="2" vspace="5"> <br>
	You can move in all 8 directions and also over several players at once:
	<img src="images/jump_3.gif" alt="before" align="middle" hspace="2"
		vspace="5">&nbsp;<img src="images/jump_4.gif" alt="during"
		align="middle" hspace="2" vspace="5">&nbsp;<img
		src="images/jump_5.gif" alt="after" align="middle" hspace="2"
		vspace="5"> <br>
	And you can jump several times in one move: <img
		src="images/jump_several_0.gif" alt="jump example" align="middle"
		hspace="2" vspace="5">&nbsp;<img src="images/jump_several_1.gif"
		alt="jump example" align="middle" hspace="2" vspace="5">&nbsp;<img
		src="images/jump_several_2.gif" alt="jump example" align="middle"
		hspace="2" vspace="5">&nbsp;<img src="images/jump_several_3.gif"
		alt="jump example" align="middle" hspace="2" vspace="5">&nbsp;<img
		src="images/jump_several_4.gif" alt="jump example" align="middle"
		hspace="2" vspace="5"> <br>
	It is not allowed to jump off the board on the left or the right side.
	<br>
	</li>
</ol>

<p>The <b>goal of the game</b> is to reach or to exceed the base
line of the enemy with the ball. <br>
The first player plays to the top, the second to the bottom of the
field.</p>
<p>That's all!</p>
